Description: Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), was founded by Ken Olsen and Harlan Anderson in 1957 in Maynard, Massachusetts. Operating under the trade name Digital, they were a major player in the computer industry from the 1960s to the 1990s. Although the company produced many product lines over their history, they are best known for their work in the minicomputer market starting in the mid-1960s. The company produced a series of machines known as the PDP line, with the PDP-8 and PDP-11 being among the most successful minis in history. Their success was only surpassed by another DEC product, the late-1970s VAX "supermini" systems that were designed to replace the PDP-11.
Description: NCSA Mosaic, or simply Mosaic, is the web browser that popularized the World Wide Web and the Internet. It was also a client for earlier internet protocols such as File Transfer Protocol, Network News Transfer Protocol, and Gopher. The browser was named for its support of multiple internet protocols. Mosaic was also the first browser to display images inline with text instead of displaying them in a separate window and while it is often described as the first graphical web browser, though it was preceded by WorldWideWeb, the lesser-known Erwise, and ViolaWWW.
Description: If you’re old enough to remember BonziBuddy, you may recall that he was one of the web's early virtual assistants (think Clippy, but for browsing the web). BonziBuddy's virtual desktop assistant featured an on-screen avatar of a talking purple gorilla that could interact with its users and run simple utility services like text-to-speech and finding online shopping deals. Released in 1999, the application was actually pretty impressive for the time, and garnered notoriety for its early forays into what we now know as targeted advertising. This early personalizing of ad content was more akin to spyware, adware, and scareware than anything, so it's not surprising that the developer faced several lawsuits and fines from the FTC.

Despite having only 5 KB RAM, it spawned thousands of software programs and games, available on cassette and cartridge. '80s computing magazines publishing cheap programs for users to type in. Originally dubbed the MicroPET in 1980, it later became known as the VIC-20, with VIC referencing the VIC-I (Video Interface Chip) chip used for graphics and sound.
